what type of skewer do I need for a Trek 4500 mountain bike?

this should work-however to be certain it would be a good idea to measure the distance-in millimeters-between your drop outs (not being condescending if you do know-but if you don't this is the measurement between the places of the frame of your bike where the axle of your wheel goes. This particular skewer is for 125-127 MM which worked fine on my road bike rear wheel. I actually think my mountain bike is 135mm. I would check this before I ordered to be sure.

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

You do not have to have a skewer. I bought it for my girlfriend and we both have 26 inch wheels but different setups on our rear axles. Both bikes work fine as the rods extend on the bike trainer itself. Hope this helps.

Hey, Brent. The Kinetic Rock and Roll does not come with a spare skewer. You will have to purchase one separately. Feel free to contact us with any further questions.

I ordered the wheel in February, and it came with the skewer and quick release in the hub. So far, the wheel is performing very nicely. My front wheel is a Weinmann, and has been on the bike, a 1980 Univega, for over 20 years, as I remember, with no problems.

I purchased mine about a year before the 12/2011 review by DoctorG and my kit DID come with a skewer assembly. So it's possible it is no longer included. I used an old steel road bike with the trainer and had to swap in the new skewer as the existing one wasn't compatible with the mating assembly on the trainer. It's been a while since I used it but I got the impression that newer "standard" skewers are compatible with the trainer.

Yes , once I installed it on both my bikes I have never taken it off! I got two stock skewers for sale, lol!!:)

Yes, it is very well designed. My problem is my quick release is not long enough to accommodate the piece that will connect the trIler to the bike. The local bike shop could find a longer skewer for my bike. I will have to go to the hardware store to find parts to coo next the trailer to my frame. I did use it a little to test the trAiler. It rode smoothly but puts strIn on my axle. I won't use it til I can secure it better to my bike.

Mine came with a skewer. Not sure about the flywheel question.. Its a fluid trainer so it depends on the hydraulics and the vanes inside the fluid for resistance rather then a weighted flyweel

Both. When you insert the skewer into the slot, the latch to disengage the mount from the rack is locked in place. However, unless you purchase lock cores, it technically isn't "locking" anything.

Your bike would have wheels that remove with the flip of a lever. You don't need to use( and can't use) the skewer if you have an older bike like I do. The bolts at the wheels center will fit right into the cups on the stand. My bike is 50 years old and I have no problems.

The CopperHead will not work with thru axle skewers right out of the box. You will need either the Yakima 15mm or 20mm Fork Adapter depending on your axle size for your bicycle to work on the CopperHead.

I can only comment on the # 4500 superwinch. I can use the handles just fine. I hope this will help you.

I use mine on a road bike. Many times Mtb skewers can be used on road bikes by simply cutting them down. Done it many times.

Hello,The bike I am using does not have quick release and I did not have to worry about this issue, but I believe the trainer comes with extra plastic adapters to use with your stock skewer. Sorry I can not be more direct, but I believe the description states the mounting system will take either quick release or bolt on rear wheels.

You can buy a bar adaptor, I did it for my wife's bike and it work well on the Thule Vertex
